ESSEXVILLE, MI — Police have determined no foul play was involved in the death of an Essexville woman who was found lying in her driveway in February.

Essexville Public Safety Director Daniel J. Hages said that the investigation into the death of 46-year-old Michelle E. Anuszkiewicz is closed. The medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Anuszkiewicz determined her death resulted from drug intoxication, Hages said.

Hages did not state what substance or substances were found in Anuszkiewicz's system, but said the influences appear to be legal prescriptions from her medical professional.

A neighbor on the morning of Saturday, Feb. 1, called 911 to report Anuszkiewicz lying in the driveway of her home in the 500 block of Pine Street. Anuszkiewicz died prior to officers' arrival.

"There was no witness to say how long the victim had been laying in that location but responders determined she has been deceased for some time," Hages said a few days after Anuszkiewicz's death. "Indicators show the victim may have been in that location most of the night with temperatures getting into the single digits."

According to her obituary, Anuszkiewicz graduated from Essexville-Hampton Garber High School in 1985 and subsequently studied at Macomb Community College, where she graduated magna cum laude and later became a paralegal.

"Michelle deeply loved her family and will forever be missed," her obituary states. "She was the loving niece, cousin and friend to many."
